How Majestic Is Your Name

Psalm 8

For the director of music. According to gittith.[18] A psalm of David.

1
Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them? 1

5 You have made them 2 a little lower than the angels 2 with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
you put everything under their 5 feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
and the fish in the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
